Finally !!!

[ZAnwar]

Finally I am getting DSL (512k) quite cheap aswell, £23 or 1Mbit for £40 but I went for the £23 one !!!!!

YES !!!!!!!

 

[ZAnwar]

How do you know that ?

 

[gonaads]

Hey ZAnwar, go for the 1Mbit for £40 line. Yeah I know it costs more, but you're gonna be disapointed with the 512k line. Trust me

 

[ZAnwar]

My uncle has got 512k and he gets around 55-70 Kb/s !

 

[ZAnwar]

I can't afford £40 a month !
( I am 14 years old so I ain't gonna pay for it anyway !!! )

 

[ZAnwar]

I will switch to 1Mbit later on in LIFE !

 

[gonaads]

Remember distance is key. How close is yer Uncle to Company in relation to the distance you are to them?

Naturally being postitive
I have downloaded at 60kb/sec on 512

And if you are only downloading at 50kb/sec that gives you the rest of your available bandwidth to surf...

Cut it out you lot. grumble grumble dialup grumble grumble Anything is better than dialup.

 

[Electronic Punk]

Thats why I am grumbling
I am used to downloading things at 4.4kb/s

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Beat ya. I get 4.9kb/s. I'm feeling much better. I'm flying now.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

I take it all back. Just went to update AVG & it was coming in at 1.1kb/s. Cancelled the download & I'm off to bed. grumble grumble

 

[Electronic Punk]

heheh.

Well if there was anyway of getting ADSL or cable I would go for it, the prices of ISDN or satellite are rediculous. (sp? )

One of my mates just signed up for:
http://www.plusnet.co.uk/info2/residential/res_broadband.html

Thought he would message me and tell me. I hate him forever.

 

[ZAnwar]

I don't know what people are moaning about, from what I have seen, 512k is excellent !!!!!!!

 

[BlackEyedAngel]

hey zanwar, 512 is great. at least games are actually playable now! mmmm... counter strike...

and i get downloads of 80kb/s quite often. 60 is about normal for me. which is bloody fast frankly, compared to a 'normal' 56k dial up.

Zanwar
downloads will be no more than 60 kbs on a 512 line,
but enjoy your new connection who ever your ISP is
ADSL isent allways as good as ppl make it out to be, jsut wate until you start having problems. lol
if you need more info on ADSL goto www.adslguide.org and select your isp forum there.

 

[ZAnwar]

surge, you saying that 60Kbs is not good !!!!!!!

WHOA, you must have 5MBit then !

 

[surge]

no iam not saying that at all , its jsut that ADSL in the uk is not all what every one expect its to be, some times there are lots of problems with it becasue all the ISPs are money Grabbing fat cats and only care about how many ppl they can take money from and dont care about the serviace they provided
and yeah i wish i did have a 5mg sec connection
